Scheduled for October 14, SoFIA’s fourth annual aging symposium will explore “the new normal,” focused on three pillars: employment, healthcare and diversity
The South Florida Institute on Aging (SoFIA) will host the Aging in South Florida Virtual Symposium presented by AARP on Wednesday, October 14 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The virtual event will explore “the new normal” in a post-COVID world, presenting innovative ideas and solutions to employment, healthcare and diversity challenges faced by older adults. The event will be a forum to encourage conversation and collaborative problem solving to better help older adults thrive as they age, while providing information on community efforts and resources.
SoFIA’s virtual experience also includes opportunities to attend seminars of personal interest, while sponsors and vendors will benefit from a virtual booth and AI technology to connect them to attendees from the same industry or with shared interests.

About SoFIA
A non-profit think and act tank, the South Florida Institute on Aging (SoFIA) creates and delivers socio-economic support programs for South Florida seniors that can also serve as a model for other communities with aging populations. For more than 55 years, SoFIA has provided innovative services tailored to meet seniors’ caregiving and respite, civic engagement and economic security needs. This past year, SoFIA’s 500 experienced senior volunteers provided over a quarter of a million hours to serve nearly 2,000 residents including: veterans who received the mentoring of fellow veterans; seniors, disabled adults and caregivers who were enabled to live independently through caregiving and companionship programs; children in underserved communities that saw a 90 percent improvement in literacy skills through the Foster Grandparent program; and over 500 seniors graduated from SoFIA’s technology courses.
